The chirping of insects that had filled the summer night had unknowingly disappeared.
Even the night wind had stopped flowing.
Under Eight-cloud Ink's cold gaze, Tsuchimikado Taichi, Natsume, and Spring Tiger felt as if they were in the middle of winter.
Even Suzuka, who was still immersed in the tragedy of her brother's death, couldn't help but shiver.
Tsuchimikado Taichi's heart suddenly had a trace of regret.
The monster in front of them was sealed by the entire family's elites.
Wasn't it too inappropriate for him to make such a rude request?
But now, even if he knew it wasn't good, it had already happened and couldn't be undone.
Because he borrowed Lord of Mount Tai's power, the seal had loosened quite a bit. Eight-cloud Ink's demon power transfer was slightly easier than before.
His long hair and clothes moved without wind.
Tsuchimikado Taichi was fine, but Natsume and Spring Tiger already felt a bit of difficulty breathing.
Realizing that something bad would happen if this continued, Tsuchimikado Taichi clenched his teeth and could only make a move!
Putting away the scroll, he quickly took out a talisman and threw it into the air. Those talismans floated in front of him and formed a circle.
"Eight Style Absolute Seal · Urgent Command!!"
The talismans started to connect with each other and formed an Eight Direction Absolute Seal Formation.
"Hmph!"
Eight-cloud Ink snorted. Suddenly, dozens of light bullets appeared around him and flew towards the Eight Direction Absolute Seal Formation.
"Boom — —!!"
The small bullets hit the Eight Direction Absolute Seal Formation. The resulting shockwave sent Tsuchimikado Taichi and the other two flying.
After landing, Tsuchimikado Taichi immediately stood up and looked at Eight-cloud Ink vigilantly.
But Eight-cloud Ink didn't launch an attack.
Tsuchimikado Taichi was surprised at first, then he suddenly laughed.
"It seems that Yu Shen's attack just now was already his limit."
Eight-cloud Ink frowned.
Indeed, the bullet screen attack he had just sent out was already the maximum output he could muster.
The Lord of Mount Tai's power that he used before didn't have much left after waking him up.
Although the seal had loosened, it was still not something he could break.
"What, human, are you planning to slay the monster?"
"Yu Shen misunderstood."
Tsuchimikado Taichi stepped forward. Just as he was about to say something, he was suddenly shocked. He immediately pulled Natsume and Spring Tiger and quickly retreated.
Eight-cloud Ink's body began to emit black smoke.
[This is — not good! The Jade of Four Souls …]
A beam of light shot out from Eight-cloud Ink's chest and into the sky.
It was the light emitted by the Jade of Four Souls that had fused with his body back then.
Originally, after Eight-cloud Ink lost consciousness and was sealed, the Jade of Four Souls had been quietly staying in his body, constantly releasing that crazy energy to fight against Eight-cloud Ink's spirit sea.
Later on, Eight-cloud Ink defeated the dark energy of the Jade of Four Souls with the help of the Fantasy Sapling and woke up. Then, it began to try to break the seal.
But now, because of Tsuchimikaze Taichi's provocation, Eight-cloud Ink was furious. The Jade of Four Souls seemed to see an opportunity and tried to control Eight-cloud Ink again.
"Bastard —!!"
The clarity in his eyes quickly faded and was replaced by chaos mixed with madness, destruction, and brutality.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
First, it was a painful wail. Then, it turned into a bestial roar.
The ground under the giant tree where the Eight-cloud Ink was sealed began to crack.
"Not good! The seal is about to be broken! "
Tsuchimikado Tai Chun broke out in cold sweat.
Looking at the situation, it seemed that it was because of him that this monster had lost its mind again, just like it did decades ago!
Reaching out his right hand, Eight-cloud Ink grabbed the arrow in his chest and tried to pull it out.
In the eyes of Tsuchimikaze, Taisumi, and Suzuki, who had recovered from the change just now, the arrow that was stuck in Yakumo's chest was pulled out a little, but it wasn't completely pulled out.
"No, we have to eliminate him now!!"
Although he said this, Tu Yimen Taichi had no other choice.
Back then, he gathered the power of the entire family and could only seal it.
After that, the family and the other Yin-Yang Masters of the Yin-Yang Hall tried countless methods to make Eight-cloud Ink into a shikigami, but they all failed.
After that, because there was no hope of making him into a shikigami, to be safe, someone suggested to completely eliminate him while he was sealed.
However, they used all the Yin-Yang techniques that existed today, but they were all useless against Eight-cloud Ink.
The Yin-Yang techniques that the Yin-Yang Masters used today were evolved from the Empire Yin-Yang techniques created by Yin-Yang Master.
Yin-Yang techniques of the Empire Yin-Yang techniques were simplified by removing everything related to religion and beliefs. Only then could these Yin-Yang techniques be used on a large scale.
Although this increased the range of Yin-Yang techniques and lowered the difficulty of using them, there was no doubt that it also weakened the power of Yin-Yang techniques.
All the Yin-Yang techniques were useless against Eight-cloud Ink.
As for the more powerful Empire Yin-Yang techniques, only Yin-Yang Master could maximize its power.
Unfortunately — —
Tu Yimen Taichi secretly glanced at Spring Tiger.
His real child, the real reincarnated Yin-Yang Master in the rumors, was still a dabbler.
In order to protect him from being noticed by Yin-Yang Master and the Yin-Yang Hall, Tu Yimen Taichi personally sealed Spring Tiger when he was a baby and gave him to the branch family to raise.

Spring Tiger looked at Eight-cloud Ink who had already lost his mind, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
It was as if he was seeing those familiar scenes again.
It was as if something was about to rush out of his body.
Then, in Spring Tiger's eyes, that unreal beautiful monster actually used both hands to pull out the arrow in his chest.
Spring Tiger could clearly see that on Eight-cloud Ink's originally slender and beautiful fingers, the jade-like fingernails began to rapidly grow, and finally became ferocious and terrifying claws.
Eight-cloud Ink who finally pulled out the sealing arrow locked his eyes on Tu Yimen Taichi.
In the next moment, he appeared in front of Taichi and swung his claws.
Tu Yimen Taichi did not have time to react before Eight-cloud Ink left a few deep wounds on his chest, and he was sent flying with a scream.
After sending Tu Yimen Taichi flying, Eight-cloud Ink turned his eyes to Natsume.
Natsume shook his head and retreated with a pale face.
His trembling lips could not make any sound.
Then, Spring Tiger saw Eight-cloud Ink swinging his claws at Natsume.
【No! Don't —】
【Move your body! Bastard! Move —】
The strong urge to protect Natsume made the veins on Spring Tiger's neck bulge.
Then, there was a "pop" sound, as if something in his body was broken.
⑧
Even if he lost his mind, Eight-cloud Ink would still instinctively feel that something was wrong.
Why was this seemingly ordinary human boy able to block his attack?
In front of Eight-cloud Ink, Spring Tiger crossed his hands and grabbed Eight-cloud Ink's wrist.
The surging spiritual energy emitted from his body made Eight-cloud Ink frown.
Spring Tiger raised his head, and his eyes were blood red. The pentagram below his left eye — that was his symbol as Natsume's shikigami — began to emit light.
"I can't — let you hurt Natsume!"
